Hi Andrew,
Where are you flying into?
Regards, Scott

Greetings,

I haven't made any ticket purchases yet as I am waiting for my route to be vetted to plan my return trip. I was going to try to fly into Inverness directly from the US. Most likely on Sunday or Monday before the challenge.

Andrew

I usually fly into Heathrow and spend 1 night in a hotel near to the airport. I leave a bag there and only carry to Scotland, by train, what I need for the crossing.

At Montrose Sue & Ali are very kind to give me a T-Shirt and, if needed, I buy some bits in Montrose.

Due to the flight times I have to spend another night at the hotel in Heathrow.

Twice prior I have taken with me as checked airline baggage a 4’ long cardboard shipping tube (4” diameter when solo and 6” diameter with partner along). In it I ship trekking poles and other needs including packing tape for resealing the ends. Once in Scotland, I remove from it the items I need for my crossing. Thereafter, I send the tube by postal service ice to The Park Hotel in Montrose. I try to launder my travel clothes before tubing them so they are fresh to wear at Montrose. Works like a charm.

So says I.
